The 1st round of the 2018 NFL Draft is in the books, but there are plenty of talented players left on the board.

There are going to be a lot of players selected on day 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft that make a major impact. This is a very deep draft and we are going to get a glimpse of that here. Several of the names that will be called today could’ve very easily been 1st round picks.

Below is a list of my best remaining prospects as we head into the draft’s second day:

1. Ronnie Harrison, Safety, Alabama

Big Board Rank: No. 16

Harrison is a playmaking safety who has tons of range. He is capable of working sideline to sideline and features excellent instincts.

2. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

Big Board Rank: No.17

Guice runs with a purpose and is one of the more physical backs in the draft. He’s also an underrated pass catcher.

3. Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP

Big Board Rank: No.19

Hernandez is someone who excels at generating a push off the line of scrimmage. He’s a day 1 starter who’ll immediately help the run game.

4. Connor Williams, OL, Texas

Big Board Rank: No. 20

More from With the First Pick

Williams is a versatile offensive lineman who can play either left tackle, right tackle or guard. He can be a little inconsistent, but there’s tons of upside here.

5. James Daniels, C, Iowa

Big Board Rank: No.22

Daniels is a day-1 starting center in the NFL. He should hear his name called quickly in the 2nd round.

6. Sam Hubbard, Edge, Ohio State

Big Board Rank: No. 23

Hubbard is a strong pass rushing prospect who also contributes in the run game.

7. Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M

Big Board Rank: No. 24

Kirk runs excellent routes and has the speed to stretch the field.

8. James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State

Big Board Rank: No. 25

Washington plays a physical brand of football and does a good job providing the quarterback with a target.

9. Donte Jackson, CB, LSU

Big Board Rank: No. 27

Jackson features a ton of speed but also the fluidity to limit separation. He is still developing as a player but has tons of potential.

10. Uchenna Nwosu, LB/Edge, USC

Big Board Rank: No. 28

Nwosu is a versatile linebacker prospect who gets after the quarterback, sets the edge against the run and holds up well in coverage.

11. D.J. Chark, WR, LSU

Big Board Rank: No. 32

Chark is a major deep threat who draws the attention of opposing defenses.

12. Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State

Big Board Rank: No. 33

Rudolph is a sound quarterback prospect who has all the measurables needed to succeed at the next level.

13. Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State

Big Board Rank: No. 35

Goedert is a major mismatch in the passing game. He’s my top rated tight end prospect and has a ton of potential.

14. Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn

Big Board Rank: No. 37

Davis is a physical cornerback prospect who can match up against the bigger NFL wide receivers.

15. Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford

Big Board Rank: No. 39

Phillips is a power player who holds his ground at the point of attack.
